Sir Keir Starmer is facing a fresh nightmare as support for the Government has reached a new low, according to new polling

YouGov asked the public if they "approve or disapprove" of the Government's record so far

A whopping 64% of respondents said they dissaprove - the most since the general election resulted in a huge Labour majority in July last year.

Experts say that the proportion of those that approve of Sir Keir's administration is 16%, minus 4% from January 18-20.

The stats result in a net approval rating of -48.

It comes as the Prime Minister - along with his chancellor Rachel Reeves - aims to boost economic growth in a fresh drive this week.

Writing in The Times, Sir Keir criticised the "morass of regulation that effectively bans billions of pounds" of investment, describing "thickets of red tape" that have "spread through the British economy like Japanese knotweed".

He added that ministers will "kick down the barriers to building, clear out the regulatory weeds and allow a new era of British growth to bloom".

The PM also invoked Margaret Thatcher.

He wrote: "A change in the economic weather can only ever come from a supply-side expansion of the nation's productive power.

"In the 1980s, the Thatcher government deregulated finance capital. In the New Labour era, globalisation increased the opportunities for trade. This is our equivalent."

"In the 1980s, the Thatcher government deregulated finance capital. In the New Labour era, globalisation increased the opportunities for trade. This is our equivalent."

She will add: "For too long, we have accepted low expectations, accepted stagnation and accepted the risk of decline. We can do so much better," she will say. "Low growth is not our destiny.

"But growth will not come without a fight. Without a Government that is on the side of working people. Willing to take the right decisions now to change our country's course for the better."
